Why this many people use Snapchat is incomprehensible
There are so many good messenger apps and all of them, Snapchat’s giant userbase remains

Snapchat is a line I drew. It’s probably my single least favourite messaging option
Honestly, I prefer it over a few of the others. That doesn’t make it good though. I’d much prefer to get everyone I know on to something more open and free like Matrix, wire, etc.
